from dallas. isn't that the way they do it in d.c. let's just do something on a temporary basis. should they try to shoot for something better? >> that would be very difficult. it is almost impossible to make a deal got a big deal, with a lame duck president who frankly was not even competent to make such a deal while he thought he had a future in the office. secondly, the one thing i think speaker boehner has his finger on is they probably cannot stop the sequestration on defense spending because after his disastrous debacle in libya, the president cannot afford to be seen in different to defense spending. about all they can hope to do is probably the late that head, for some type of deal, picked up and down the road and wait until after a new president is in fact sworn in. in order to get to the big copperheads if tax reform, spending reduction, spending reform package caught that will take a lot of time and a lot of creative work. [talking over each other] president obama, if he were to survive and when the reelection, it is my idea that he would be entitled to only what he wants whi

team stays absolutely perfect. how about those atlanta falcons? they rallied to defeat the dallas cowboys sunday. michael turner's late touchdown run and four field goals by matt bryant. the falcons are now 8-0. >>> and on the final full day of campaigning, the race for president could not be any closer. it is what you call a dead heat. a new cnn/orc poll shows president obama and governor romney getting 49% each. both candidates have a busy day on the trail before tomorrow's election. >>> oh, florida, oh, florida, voters found long lines and chaos, especially in the southern part of the state. imagine waiting up to nine hours to vote. nine hours! >> we are up in miami-dade county election department, this is what they're going to us? >> this is what they do in that building. >> exactly. and this is the way they're treating us? we need to vote. we are not in some rural district waiting on the side of the road. this is the main place. and if we are treated like that here, god help the others. >> this is not cuba. this is not china. we cannot allow this to happen. >> seriously? can'
